His Girl

8 ~ Le Notizie

James' POV

Come on! Pick up!

"Hey! You've reached the voicemail of Courtney. Sorry I can't answer your call! Probably dead under exam revision. I'll try call you back later!" I heard through the phone.

"Hey Courtney! You're overprotective brother here! You better not a have a hangover. Please come home or call me back, I haven't heard from you and may possibly be not worrying about you. I love you!"

Where are you Courtney? I never trusted you, Brody!

I suddenly heard a ear piercing squeal from someone. "James! James, get in here!"

I take off running down the hallway to the living room. Inside I see Nicole standing in front of the television, staring blankly.

"Babe! Babe, what is it!?" I exclaim. She slightly moves to her left and I see the news headlines. I couldn't handle it. I collapsed onto the floor.

"No!" I scream. "No! No! No! This isn't happening! Nikki, tell me I'm dreaming."

I look back at the television again and reread the new headlines. I reach for the remote and turn the volume up.

The reporter begins talking, "A cyclist has made the gruesome discovery of a body in Carlton Gardens today. The cyclist on his early morning ride found the body, believed to be of Brody Mitchell. The police are looking into his murder and anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers immediately."

I look over to see Nikki on the floor in tears. Her head in her hands and she's completely distraught.

"Shhhh." I try to comfort her. "We'll find her. We'll get her back! I promise." Courtney we'll find you!

Courtney's POV

I slowly begin to open my eyes but it was still black. I lift my right hand up to my face. Yep the blindfold is back! It makes me feel safer. Yep, as weird as it sounds, I have formed an attachment to my blindfold.

"Keep it on!" Luca warns. I don't even want it to come off! I don't reply, I just sigh.

"I need to go to the bathroom." I mumble. Right now!

"Alright." He sighs. I heard him walk around to the left side of the bed and reach for the handcuffs. I can finally flex my wrist. He gently gets me off the bed and walks me to the bathroom.

I hear the door shut and slowly begin to slid off the blindfold. I walk across to the toilet but catch myself in the mirror. I back up and look at myself. I look- I look dead! My skin was pale. I had huge black circles under my eyes. Tears were still streaming down my face. I don't think I've ever stopped crying since I got here.

I walk back over to the sink and turn the tapes on. I stand there for a while looking at myself. I splash cold water on my face and I feel a little better.

I pull the blindfold back over my face and call out for Luca. I hear the door squeak as it was opened and footsteps walking across the floor. I feel Luca grab my hands and walk out with me. I get back into the bed and sigh as he reattaches the handcuffs.

"How are you feeling?" He asks me. I just shrug. I pulled the pillow back over my face and start to sob again. I wonder how Megan's treatment is going. I wonder what James is doing right now. How's Adam and Sammy taking the news? What's Hanna doing? I thought of James' girlfriend, Nikki. How is she taking the news? Does anyone even realise I've been kidnapped!?
